Omarion Mbakwe brings compact, efficient power to San Diego’s backfield
Mbakwe flashed as a freshman at San Diego in 2025, appearing in three games and turning 25 carries into 78 rushing yards plus 10 receiving yards, with his most productive outing coming at Davidson (13 carries, 59 yards, and a catch for 10 yards).[9][6] A former Coppell standout, he was a productive high school runner with 1,290 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns, and scouting notes praised his power, quickness, pad level, and tackle-breaking ability—traits that suggest a tough, reliable fit for a downhill run game.[9][8]
